Marie Harper sadly passed away (March 2016) after a long battle with cancer. Marie was a dedicated animal lover and great ADANA supporter for many years. She collected money in Estepona port, cleaned at the shelter and helped with events, even after moving back to the UK she never stopped raising money and supporting us.

Fresh from organising and running the popular cafe at the dog show, the indomitable Trisha Mansfield once again organized a fantastically successful event at the Guadalmina Golf Club on 4 May. Trisha would be the first to admit that she had many helpers including CJ and her sister who spent over 40 hours sorting out clothes.

The 26th ADANA dog show was held at the Palacio de Congresos in Estepona on Sunday 24th April. There were 20 different classes, the Judges Favourite proving to be the most popular but also including, best ex-ADANA dog, dog with the waggiest tail and agility classes. This years Best in Show went to Brooklyn a rescue dog owned by Alvaro Infante, many congratulations to you both.

"Something different it certainly was! If you happened to be passing the Roadhouse Sports and Music Bar on the 26th March you most certainly would have heard the 50 or so race goers cheering on their favorite horses as they enjoyed the eight races that took place throughout the evening.

Once again we held our March March. This is the third year we have organized this event and each year it grows in size. Primarily we use it to showcase our dogs and to promote shelter dogs to local residents, hopefully promoting the ethos of 'don't shop, adopt'. It is also an ideal opportunity to publicize the work that ADANA does and raise our profile within the community.

The annual planning meeting of the Fund raising group, normally held in October was finally held in January. A fantastic turn out heard Jayne recap on the many successful events held last year before discussions turned to this years events.
